4:00Just want to ask a question before we table. Uh, Mr. Mancini shared a desire to want to look at the building. Is it am I in the mic? Uh that he would like to look at the building. Will there be something done to allow people to go into the building and look at Yeah, I'm I'm sure that won't be too difficult to arrange that through our um the appropriate department in the city
4:23and and I think that's why there's a good idea to um uh to you know appoint the evaluating committee have the matrix evaluated table it here uh to give opportunities such as that the holidays are short days away.
